Certainly this is a drinkable beer. You can have a lot of fun with in in your cafe.

Being critical: it's a mixture of blonde, triple and brown beer. The result is quite disappointing.

A lot of people write down that they don't mention the alcohol. Huh? That's the first thing that comes through: too much alcohol; too disharmonic.

L: ofcourse it is gold and has a great top; the big bubbles tell us that it will disappear quickly. And it does disappear quickly.S: malty , sweet smell with some clove and bread;T: sweet, round, banana, overripe peach;M: just too much alcohol; it's just a blond beer with 4 percent too much; tiny too sweet; lacking hops;O: certainly drinkable, but the elements just don't fit well.

While pricey at $14.99 a bottle, I am happy to have found an absolutely astounding Tripel.

Poured from a 750 ML bottle into a Chimay Goblet. Incredible effervescence and a pale light gold/straw hue. The head is dense with extremely tight beading, a mousse like head, creamy and think with nice lacing.

A bright golden beer with an initial big head that quickly fades away and leaves a thin white soapy foam.

Smell is dominated by the yeast, an interesting mix of higher alcohols, exotic fruits, something like teak wood? The malt adds a biscuity and slightly doughy smell.

In the taste the Duboisson yeast sets the character of the beer. Instead of the usual sharp higher alcohols in Westmalle or other tripels, this beer is quite smooth. Some higher alcohols are present and they give the beer enough tripel character. The beer has some light malty notes, a little biscuit, a little dough. A good amount of sugar is used. This adds to it's drinkability and makes the beer a bit thin, but still above average for a tripel. A nice bitterness, which appears a little German like Hallertau.

A: The pour is golden in color with a touch of orange and a large white head.

S: Good sweetness on the nose with plenty of pale malts, honey, and sugar. Nice fruit esters, particularly bananas, and a solid citrus aroma of candied orange and orange peel. A touch of yeast and crackers as well.

T: Pears, bananas, and apples along with the candied citrus give the beer a nice fruitiness. Pale, but sweet, malts, honey, and sugar add more sweetness. A touch of spice and some alcohol and yeast.

M: Medium in body with a moderate to high carbonation.

O: A little too sweet for me, and while it's a decent tripel, the high price makes this one I probably wouldn't purchase again.

The beer pours a pale gold color with decent head retention and lacing. The nose is kind of light, but is otherwise all Belgian triple, showcasing honey, light vanilla and clove. The flavor profile replicates the nose pretty closely in this moderately sweet beer, but with a hint of ginger on the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a fairly long, sweet, clove and honey flavored finish. Alcohol is not at all noticeable, and frankly I was surprised to see the 10.5% abv. listing on the menu.

Shrug. A nice enough beer, but hardly anything to get excited about, especially considering some of the other excellent beers Bush/Scaldis makes.

A - Hazy/murky golden colour with plenty of carbonation bubbles.Delicate whit froth of about pefect size - one finger worth when poured slowly into a chalice.

S - Sweet and spicy. Yeast and a bit of cinnamon.

T - Mildly creamy head gives way to a very smooth first taste. To me this tastes very much like a strong blonde with some caramel/malt and spices. Has its bitter-sweet moments as you drink as well.

M - Very smooth and sweet with a mild burning carbonation sensation at the back of the palate.

D - Delicious, and for a 10.5% beer there's no phenolic sensation at all. This is only my second Dubuisson brew but it's much more drinkable than what I'd encountered previously. Lovely but I wish I could get it locally!

I must confess I always find triples the most difficult of all beers to define as they tend to be so incredibly complex in their composition. Again this one was somewhat hard to describe. Point of order; the categorisation above lists this as a BSPA whereas the bottle calls it a Blonde Triple. I would say it's somewhere in between; some of the sweetness and complexity typical of a triple combined with the malty/caramel blonde type of feel.

This beer is labeled under the name Scaldis in the US and other countries. According to the website for Brasserie Dubuisson, the original name Bush was only registered in a few countries, and so the beer is commonly exported out under the name Scaldis in many countries.

I had a sample tasting at a local beer tasting event, served in a champagne flute.

A: Straw like in color topped with a bone white head... fairly large bubbles. Perhaps not the best retention I have seen, not sticking to the glass too much either.

S: There is a flowery perfume like quality though subtle... eau de cologne if you will. peach follows up with some spice backing it up... maybe a hint of banana as well.

T: This is very good. Not like I remembered. Very dry like a triple ought to be. Surprisingly dry even for the strength. Bosc pears come to mind. This stuff has a lot of nuance and subtlety for a beer of 10.5 percent abv. Long finishing as well. In short Scaldis always brings the PAIN! Gives Westmalle's tripel a run for its effing money.

The bottle I purchased is branded as Scaldis, but it appears to be identical.

A - Orangeish golden, big, foamy headS - Yeasty, citrusty, spicy ... but at the same time, nothing really stands out as unique. Seems to be a classic blond profile.T - Again, I get basically hops, spice, and yeast. Definitely nice, but nothing really out of the ordinary for this style of beer.M - Medium bodied, some nice carbonationD - When you want a nice, but basic, blond / triple style without too much going on, this is it. Honestly, a really nice beer that I would gladly drink again.
